Try to do some cardio exercise every day. It doesn’t have to be long, even five minutes after work can help. I try to do a mile on the treadmill before taking a shower and getting comfortable. It usually takes less than 10 minutes. Cardio is the key.

Thanks, I’ll start doing daily cardio and work on dropping this weight.

I’ve had a productive morning and just feel overall great. I haven’t slept optimally, or at least what I’ve been told is optimal but when you feel good, you feel good. I start to wonder more above everything I’ve been told is fact and how much of it is actually BS.
I kind of wanted to get into more of a flow state and I think it’s happening of late. I’m less hung up on perfection and optimisation of day to day living. Ironically, I’ve been way more productive as a result.
I just figured out the feeling I’m having, and it’s gratitude. I’m grateful for having so many opportunities despite all my mistakes in life. Opportunities to make other people’s lives better too. I don’t normally feel this way, it’s quite energising.

Woke up feeling emotionally fragile but much less than previous recon. Now, it’s like a strength is penetrating outward and upward through a layer of fear.
I haven’t started working out yet but I’ve been active. I know I wrote about wanting to live more fluidly but I think in the case of working out, following something structured where I know exactly what I have to do each day would be better for me. I’ll look into this more.
I didn’t listen to the subs before work like usual, but afterwards instead. I think I might have stuffed up and ran DR:LD twice because the playlist stopped after 15 minutes and I fear I might have pressed track 2 to start the playlist by accident and that’s why it ended after 15 minutes. Not sure exactly what happened but I either ran Genesis + DR:LD one loop each as usual or I ran two loops of DR:LD. If the latter is the case, then I’ll be ready to have some limits destroyed 
Still riding some type of high at the moment. I’m going to spend some time doing my business website this afternoon. It will be great to have that done and dusted.

Yeah that’s annoying, that’s why i only play subs on my computer nowadays. It’s less likely for me to misclick something
Have fun doing your business website!

Thanks, I’m ‘enjoying’ it muchly 
I started the WordPress course thinking this is so easy I could literally start a web design business and now I’ve moved to the phase where I barely have the motivation to finish my own website

I also had a manifestation of sorts this week. There’s this piece of equipment I’ve been chasing and I finally found a guy on eBay selling one, so I put in a ‘offer’ as that was enabled, only $10 less than the asking price and it was rejected. That was a few weeks ago.
The other day I thought to myself, I wonder if that A-hole sold it or not, so I did a search and low and behold, a brand new item showed up from another seller at a better price. This guy was selling lots of trade quality single item tools, so he must be one of those people who buy ‘pallets’ and sell individual items.
It was very lucky to find this machine again, as it was discontinued at the end of 2022, replaced by a line of battery equipment 
and I’ve been looking for it for months.

Was absolutely smashed by nightmarish dreams last night. I’m certain now that I accidentally ran 2 loops of DR:LD yesterday.
I checked my banking this morning and a nice series of deposits have occurred since I started chasing non-paying accounts. Why I didn’t do this earlier I have no idea but it’s almost as if I felt bad for asking people to pay me for the services I provided. To feel ok about being a coward, I told myself that it was not worth the hassle.
I finished off the website last night but I’m not happy with it yet. At least something’s there though and I mostly wanted the domain for email accounts but a website is part of the hosting package. I’ll continue improving it when the mood arises.

Genesis - 15 minutes
I’m feeling a bit off today with a sore throat. I’ve been around a few sick people this week but I thought I’d have immunity from the cold I had last week. I did the Genesis loop in bed, it’s windy as anything outside, so between feeling unwell and the wind, I doubt I’ll get too much done today.
Last night, I improved the website and my daughter was impressed with the social media icons linking to the accounts. I’ve got to figure out how to force the theme’s menu to desktop only mode on mobile, as the website is so basic, I think it’d look better. I’ll be happy to leave it then and start fixing my work truck in my spare time.
As well as new decals, I’m going to sand rust off the steel tray and touch up with paint, then put in some heavy duty rubber matting, remount toolbox and install two new under tray toolboxes. I also plan to reorganise the tray layout by mounting new equipment racks. This is so everything is efficient as possible but more importantly lockable, so no-one steals my stuff. It should be a nice looking upgrade, making the business look more professional too.
That’s only the tip of the iceberg in respect to things I need to get done. I have a lot of jobs to complete on my own house too. I think that’s why I stagnated for so long, the things I had to do overwhelmed me and I ignored everything. Genesis and DR:LD really helped push me beyond that blockage or limitation. I’m driving forward with my plans and the usual fear and self doubts are taking a backseat. I don’t reflect with negative emotions on the past as much now as I’m more focused on and optimistic about the future.

I’m bored as, really feel like doing something but I’ve been in bed all day with a temperature, headache and can’t stop crapping. Might see a weight loss tomorrow I hope this is the worst of it, I’m really trying to rest as much as possible to recover for Monday and Tuesday which are busy days. I’ve just about done a full-time shift on the forum today.
Even when sick, Genesis keeps working for me. I notice lately I’ve been way friendlier through text messages and in person I’m laughing more with people I don’t know well. I’m usually slightly more socially repressed to put it kindly
I’m super pumped for True Sell, I wondered today what type of results I might expect. Then I wondered if it would be a downgrade on the ZPv2 MAX subs, both of which I’m running.
I thought I could run a stack alternating listening days from Genesis + True Sell → Genesis + PCC. Not sure though but the time will soon come when I will need to boost my social game, for business purposes. I’m pretty good at work, but when quoting if a job is beyond my skillset, I’m always honest with client. I think though sometimes I should have more confidence because the hagglers pick up on it and I generally give a discount if they apply pressure. I shouldn’t diminish my worth like that and cut into my profits. I need a stronger frame, where I know what I’m worth and quote accordingly.

Damn, under 100kg. I think it was due to that toilet ‘issue’ I mentioned yesterday, plus the temperature I had broke last night and I sweated a fair bit.
Still feeling a bit drained but 80% better compared to yesterday. My poor Mrs has been sick with this for 8 days straight. It felt like COVID, having had it early last year, but the tests were negative this time.
I feel thankful to be recovering so fast and I think I’ll be back to full health for Monday. I’ll try to keep this weight loss momentum going by not over eating today. It’s the toughest day of the week, as it’s the weekly food shop day for the kids school lunches, so plenty of food on Sundays 
I’ll do my best though.
I’m going to be more specific and create some SMART goals in respect to weight loss and income. I read about it here and was linked to a good website, so I’ll look into doing that sometime this week.

I can confirm that I listened to 2 loops of DR:LD the other day. I loaded the playlist this morning, pressed Genesis and it skipped straight to track #2 DR:LD. Strange, as the player has always been reliable. I deleted the playlist and will manually play each track on the days i run multiple subs to avoid error.
A big couple of days coming up physically. I hope it helps with weight loss. I talked to my nephew, who is a gym goer, last week and he gave me some tips. I’ll take note here when I workout, although I’ll get these next few days out of the way first as I’ll be doing my fair share of bending, lifting, carrying, shovelling etc, so not the best days to start working out.
Motivation is not at it’s strongest, I still feel not at 100% health but after one more coffee, I’ll get into it!

I’m feeling a bit down today. It could be from this sickness, apparently we’ve all had influenza B strain. Or it could be the non stop dreaming from last night. I’m a bit physically stuffed after yesterday too but I guess it’s a good kick start towards my weight loss and fitness goals. If I want to make more money, I need to be able to do more work.

I had to take a bunch of breaks at work today. Not feeling that good overall, very tired and sore throat.
Instead of doing the 21 day cycle, I will start a washout now until next Monday. Including today, that will be a 6 day washout.
I need a reset, for my body and mind, a time to sort out some thoughts and plans before starting fresh next week. It feels like taking a sub washout to reflect and plan while I get over this flu is the best course of action.

I went to bed really early and slept right through. All the heavy and hard work for the week is done. I think I pushed myself too hard on Monday and I regressed fighting off this flu. I couldn’t cancel the job though and I’ll finish early today and rest up.
I’m glad I took the washout now. My vibe with this illness is off and I don’t think running the loop of Genesis today as scheduled would have benefited me.
Remarkably, I ate no junk food yesterday. It was effortless and I don’t know if the subs are helping there. I’m feeling lighter already, it’s nice to be under 100kg today.
I’m backing up some documents and stuff online and portable hard drive, getting ready to setup the gaming laptop for my daughter to have. This will free up some space to setup the treadmill and some weights. I’m going to try to get all that ready by next Monday.
Next sub cycle, I’ll go:
day 1 - Genesis
day 3 - DR:LD
day 5 - Genesis
And so on… Until washout…
It should work better, less overload compared to running both subs together every second listening day.

Woke up, right eye glued shut: conjunctivitis. Damn, it’s from this virus though. The kids and wife all had the same thing. I thought I was going to avoid all this but it was not to be. Other than this, I actually feel good physically, it’s a weird one this influenza B virus and I don’t think I’ve ever had it before.
I ate well again yesterday, I feel like I’m getting into a dieting groove at the moment, plus it’s saving me money not buying takeaway, only making my own food. Today, I will stay home and organise some things here because my eye looks terrible and I will need to wait for it to improve. I finished that job yesterday and today I had only a lawn to mow but I’m on friendly terms with the guy and he won’t mind waiting for tomorrow or early next week after I explain the situation.
I’m thinking about running CTWON with Genesis instead of True Sell. I was reading a topic here about the sub which had me interested, then I read the objective list of the sub and was even more interested. There’s too many good looking subs making it difficult to choose.
So far I’m not noticing much during this washout. I still feel positive but there have been moments of fear and self doubt. While things are changing and moving forward, it makes me freeze up and get scared, wondering what I’m doing. Am I just the fuck up like I’ve been taught? Is there another disaster on the horizon? Then another part takes over and I tell myself that I’m fortunate to be doing what I enjoy and if I’m putting in more effort than before, I’m giving myself a greater chance to succeed.

Lately, I’ve been feeling the same as you have. It was silly how fearful I was feeling over minor things. I had to laugh at myself. I really couldn’t believe it. I guess it’s all part of the healing process. I also got another flat tire today. This was my fourth flat tire in 4 months now. Almost had a tantrum over it

Do you think this healing is related to Genesis or it was something more common that you were aware of?
I’m noticing these fears popping up but they don’t seem to be taking hold, preventing action, like they once did. I think Genesis and DR:LD is helping me to find ways to reject the old thoughts and negative feelings, so I can push forward. Perhaps laughing at some of these irrational fears is a good strategy to release them.
That’s some bad luck with the tyres. I haven’t had a flat in years (touch wood). The shops here are a rip off, they plug them for like $70-80, so it’s almost worth buying a new tyre.

Perhaps Genesis is making me recognize fears that I had overlooked and stuffed down, bringing them to light so I can examine them? I assume that what’s happening.

Yeah, I think so. Genesis really shocked me into action. I got a lot of things done, things I avoided due to fears. I think I should have stuck with Genesis solo for longer before adding DR:LD just to see its full potential.
